Comment:
[[several language identifiers separated by spaces]]
HTTP and HTML meta elements also allow for multiple
language tags, but use commas to separate tags,
rather than just spaces. It may reduce confusion
to follow the same approach.
RESPONSE:
REJECT: We agree that ',' are used in elements for
separation of multiple values but in
this case we are addressing separation of multiple
values within attribute values. It is common practice in
attributes for values to be space separated.
Furthermore, the value of emma:lang and other attributes in EMMA
which can hold multiple values, such as emma:medium
and emma:mode is of type XSD:NMTokens which is a white space
separated list of XSD:NMToken values.
